Small Lake Huron–front preserve with short trails, rocky shoreline and mixed woods — great for shoreline compositions, migratory birds, and seasonal color. Visit at sunrise or sunset for low-angle light on rocks and water; spring and fall for birds and foliage. Easy roadside parking on Mann Rd, no fee; trails are short but can be muddy and buggy — wear boots and bring insect repellent. Limited facilities, so plan for short hikes and pack layers.
